     [ "braces" ]

    1: It's a normal, calm day until you visit the dentist. They give you the horrible news- you need braces. First you have to put these little things in between your teeth. Then you have to take mold and x-rays and get on these little metal torture devices, hand made by Satan and shipped from hell itself. After two years of them being tightened and getting screamed at by your orthodonist (unless you get a not demon-possessed one), you get them off. "YAY!" you think, until they hand you your retainer, which is a pain to make sure you don't lose it whe you take it off to eat and you have to make sure to wear it or else it won't fit anymore. In short, braces are the worse things I've ever had the displeasure to wear.

A combination of metal wires, brackets and teeny rubber bands that sap you of the ability to talk normally, eat candy, get a date, and wake up without a checker pattern etched into your gums. A device placed on the teeth that leaves you crying every 6 weeks as you leave the orthodontist because they say you won't get them off for another few months (yet, you're still "almost there!")

      * e.g.,  ... I'd offer you some of this/these super good popcorn/pretzels/caramel/toffee/taffy/gum/gummy worms, but you have braces... Yeah, she's kinda hot, but look at those braces... Now I know you thought you'd get your braces off this time, but we still need a little more time....yes, I know it's been 4 years, but you're "almost there"!

    3:  your teeth feel fine when you leave and you start to think that this might not be so bad, tsometime later (usually around dinner, which is something that is really good) your mollars hurt like bitchez, any pressure on them makes you keel over in agony.

      * e.g.,  ... Dude 1: not bad, the assistant rubbed her boobs in my face, which was sweet until she had to crank really hard on my Braces and they both bounced and landed on my face, well... lets just say prejac sucks... 


     [ "Braces" ]

    4:  at this point you finally realize the power of this man, he can hurt you more than you know, when you go back he pulls out the rubber bits and proceeds to ATTACH METAL RINGS TO THE TEETH THAT STILL FUCKING HURT after that trauma is over he moves on to a number of small, shiny things on a paper...

     [ "Braces" ]

    7:  this cycle continues until your teeth are straight, then they get twisted off and you STILL HAVE TO WEAR A FUCKING WIRE THING OVER YOUR TEETH The only good thing about the entire situation is that most of the assistants to the orthodontist are hot and stupid, when they are doing the bitch work like binding brackets they often rub their boobs on you, mostly your (face) head. they giggle and look all cute and you feel the inevitable boner, and thats why she stabs you in the gums for the next appointment.
